Free Solo Climbing + Summiting the Ogre

Welcome to When It Goes Wrong, the podcast about disasters, accidents and when things fall apart. On this episode I discuss technical rock climbing including free solo climbing such as up El Capitan in Yosemite. I then cover the story of summitting the Ogre, where peril and challenge will hit the climbers as they make their journey.
